The speculation surrounding Betsey Johnson's presence at fashion week this season was unpredictable. First she wasn't showing, and then it was confirmed that she would be. And like other years that she presented at the tents, you could hear and see the backstage area before you were physically in its orbit. Music pumped from the tents (courtesy of an on-site DJ), pink balloons fluttered overhead, models danced, and a tower of pink cupcakes stood by the entrance. Not to mention that Johnson was running around doodling on signs and attaching vintage workout photos to every available surface with—what else—pink electrical tape.

"Rodney, I love you!" exclaimed Johnson, prancing around the backstage area in a sweatshirt that read "BJkicksA" on the back (Betsey Johnson kicks ass, in case you were wondering).

The Rodney in question, was the infamous Rodney Cutler of Cutler Salons, the man who was responsible for giving Emma Watson her pixie cut. "I hope you weren't looking for serious hair!" said Cutler. And in fact, one really can't when it comes to Johnson's shows. "I feed off of her and listen to her body language," he explained. "She was all about these geometric little wigs, and I just had fun with the color." Cutler's team used bowl-cut Warhol-inspired wigs on every model, some dyed fluorescent colors and other swirled like Easter eggs. "We secured them with these long ponytails for every girl," he said. "They're going to be doing a workout routine on the runway so we wanted to make sure the wigs wouldn't fly off. Crap, was I not supposed to reveal that!"

"I mean, it's Betsey Johnson! She expected something crazy!" said Stila Cosmetics pro makeup artist Dominick Briguglio. "We're using our new turquoise smudge stick and layering tons of lashes, and a thick, geometric black eyeliner over the turquoise." Briguglio, a master of blending, managed to make the models look eccentric and chic all at the same time. "I love using trendy colors," he noted. "And Betsey's show is the perfect platform for that."

It appears, for this year at least, that the Betsey Johnson pink kingdom is still thriving, jazzercise runway routines and all.
